THE COST OF oABLE ROADS.

The current number of the Engineering
News contains an estimate of the cost of
good cable road and the operating expenses of
the same. follows. The estimate is for
two and one-half miles, everything included:
Road-bed complete, with paving, 1919, 900;
plant including real estate, buildings and
motive power, $119.500; rolling-stock, $70,
900; operating expenses per year, $103, 900;
interest, $50 O0O-$641, 500. This includes
every possible item Of expense. Comparing
the motive power of steam and animal
traction where 435 round trips are made
every twenty -four hours it is estimated that
to do the work with 272 horses would cost
sos, and by the cable system 500, GAO,
less than half the cost Of animal traction.
With animal traction there could be no sud
den expansion of the carrying capacity, while
a cable road, with adequate rolling stock, is
prepared for any emergency. The estimate of
cost here given is based on prices and condi-
tons for construction such as prevail in New
York, Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago. In
these cities other system of traction so
for increased accommodations.
Chicago has twenty and one-fourth miles in
operation and twenty-five under construction
Cincinnati eight miles; Kansas City four miles
in operation and thirty under construction;
New York city ten and one-half in operation;
Philadelphia eighteen miles; st. Louis six
miles. San Francisco thirty-three and one
half miles now in use; Melbourne, Victoria,
has several miles, London three miles, and
four years ago road was built in New Tea
land. The first cable road in San Francisco
was opened in 1878. This was the famous
"Clay street hill cable road" where the grades
were so steep that property was almost value
less. The cables had no trouble with the
grades seventeen feet in one hundred where
horse power was useless, and the road was an
immediate success.
It is estimated that for smaller cities con-
siderable reduction might be made in the
primary cost of cable roads.

THE jubilee procession in London, on the
21st inst, will be one of the grandest cere-
monial pageants of modern times. This is
well enough as such things go. England is a
great country and Victoria has been a good
Queen. Fifty years of one ruler, and that a
very good one are worth celebrating, and if
done at ALL should be done well. Barring the
Irish question there is general content in
Britain, and the Queen is doubtless as gener-
ally beloved by ner subjects as any rulercould
expect to be. A semi-centennial celebration
of this sort is very rare thing in the history
of the world, and it is natural that the En-
glish government and people should feel like
making the most of it. The Queen seems
gracicusly disposed to do her part in the way
of authorizing extensive preparations and par
orations and procession she is reported to have
said that as tho expectations of the people are
aroused they shall not be disappointed. As
the event will be historic it should be man
aged in liberal fashion. All people love a
brilliant pageant, and, if necessary, are will
ing to pay for it. The Queen was crowned at
Westminster Abbey, and there her jubilee
thanksgiving will take place. Probably those
historic walls have never contained more
brilliant assemblage than will be gathered
there on this historic occasion.

A FIERY BISHOP.

Hugh Miller Thomson's Remarks on the MUIR
der of Prohihitiontst Editor Gambrel.
jackson fMlss) Special.
Fresh fuel has been added to the excitement,
which already had Mississippi upside-down,
growing out of the killing of Rhoderick Dhu
Gambrel1, the young prohibition editor, by State
Senator James S. Hamilton. Last week Fl. p.
Mayors, editor of the Democrat-Star, published
the following:
while in conversation, last Tuesday evening
with Bishop Hugh Miller Thomson the subject
of the Gambrell tragedy came up. He said:
There is but one opinion in jackson regarding
the Hamilton Gambrell tragedy, and that is
in favor of Hamilton I believe every word
Hamilton says about it. and for that fellow
Gambrell, it is good thing he was killed He
was nothing but BLACKBOARD, going about with
his pockets full of pistols ready to kill somebody.
He had to be killed. and it was well Hamilton
did 1.-THE scoundrel. He had no interest on
earth or in hsaven!"
Following this language. put in the mouth Of
the successor of tho late lamented Bishop Green,
bishop of the Episcopal Church for the State,
was a severe denuEciatIon of the sentiments and
language of the Bishop by editor Mayors Bishop
Thomson, being shown copy of the paper with
this publication in it, Indignantly denied all In it
except as to what he said about the public senti-
mont at jackson, and that he deprecated the car
rying of concealed weapons, Gambrell was
puted to do, and which bad habit was tco preva-
lent in Mississippi, leading to fights and death.
This statement went to the world, and the mat
containing a sworn affidavit from the editor that
the language attributed to the Bishop was used
by him. and that when speaking of Gambrell as
a scoundrel. the Bishop rose from his seat if
to emphasize his assertion Gambrell was
Baptist, his father being an eminent minister Of
that faith. and editor of the State Baptist organ.
Hamitons family belong to the Episcopal
Church. and are intimate personal friends OF
Bishop Thomson. So IN addition TO the prohi-
bition matter in this case, now being iudieially
investigated, is added religious phase.

THE ONE WHO KNOWS.

We know the country, we know the dis
lance, we know the cost of pipes and the
expense of planting it; know, we'll as it
can be known anywhere what the supply of
gas is and how long it is likely to last. There
is not single condition of the enterprise here
that has not been tried and settled by opera
tons elsewhere. There need be no moro
uncertainty in fixing the limits of expense
than in fixing the cost of house on one lot
by the cost of another on lot of the next
block.-Evening News.
The above are the concluding sentences
natural-gas question. The Journal said yes
terday that the News was all-wise, and knew
everything but it did not believe that, even
in its self-sufficiency, it would soon declare
its omniscience. The News says eve know
as well as it can be known anywhere, what
the supply of gas is and how long it is likely
to last" that there is no condition that has
not been tried elsewhere, therefore, it knows
indianapolis, its inhabitants and manufactures
can be had, and its cost. Now, if the News
knows all this and it so says, why doesn't it, as
public organ, tell what it will cost, where
the supply of gas is to come from, how long
it will last, etc.?
If the News has this knowledge anywhere
about its Office. it is very strange, considering
its many expressions of heart longing for the
public good, that it does not say when, where,
how and at what cost gas may be introduced
into this city7 All this is just what the peo-
pie want to know everybody wants to know.
The Journal does not claim to know. The
Journal favors anybody, private or corporate,
that will bring natural gas into the city, pro-
viding everybody else or every other corpo-
ration may do the same. The News says
there is no more uncertainty about fixing the
expense of bringing gas into the city than of
building like houses on adjoining lots. Will
the great omniscient please tell an anxious
and inquiring public, within the limit of even
800, 900, what it will cost to bring natural
gas into the city in quantity sufficient for all
the uses of the city and its citizens2 When
great public benefactor and repository of wis
dom has infinite knowledge on matters of pub
lie concern and fails to disclose it. it works
great wrong and injury to the public and to
the people who are endeavoring to benefit
themselves

ator Sherman's cause has grown 200 per cent.
in the Western States in the last three months.
They are beginning to see that he is the man
that can be elected. and around whom all the
elements of the party can be rallied. l have
discovered that Blaine men are not fighting
Sherman, and we are certainly not fighting
Blaine. We know perfectly well that Mr..
Blaine does not want to ne renominated un-
less he is certain that he can be elected, and
we think he will be convinced before the con-
vention comes off that his election is doubt
full, and, therefore, that he will not be in the
race"

WHO are "the syndicate of Ohio capitalists"

Are they realities myths7 Men who mean
